I enjoyed this book. The 1st person narrator is drawn into a violent bid for drug sales territory by his brother as established seller and by his new girlfriends associates as aspiring seller. The lines are drawn between working citizens, those who live off the welfare system and those who live off crime (or some combination). The sex writing was ok, but a little bit TMI (if that is not a contradiction).

Imagine my dismayed surprise to read in the back pages that this the sixth book by a middle-aged man who won the Chester Himes Black Mystery Writer of the Year Award. Clearly more black people need to write mysteries.

Citygirl's review is right on the mark. So is the one by Bookmarque, with numerous examples of the work's painfully bad writing.
